What is an auto-responder?
An auto-responder is an automated e-mail response that our server can be set up to send to the address of someone e-mailing the auto-responder address. For example, we could set up info@your-actual-domain.com as an auto-responder. Then whenever someone requested information, the text file that you create and specify will be e-mailed to the sender of the e-mail. This could be something as simple as, “thank you for your e-mail we will get back to you in the next 24 hours.” Or you could send a 100 page informational packet.

You can use an auto responder to automatically send a message back to the sender of any message you receive. Some examples of how you can use an auto responders are acknowledging that you received messages or informing people that you are on vacation and won’t be reading your email for a couple of days.
An auto-responder will detect all incoming email it is linked to and will generate an automatic email response to the sender. Many companies set up auto-responders to offer information about their products and services when people click links on their web sites. Another good example of the use of auto-responders is for individuals (eg. if John Smith from Acme goes on holidays, he can set an auto-response to all incoming email notifying the sender that he is on holidays and when he expects to return).
